Technical Update: July 20, 2016

Here are the latest technical updates at Wikia. Keep in mind that our system updates happen every Tuesday and Thursday - today's notes are for tomorrow's site update. Also note that we change hundreds of tiny details every week, so these are just the highlights.

Major Bug Fixes

We will fix a bug that caused the 'popular pages' Insights list to be empty on some communities.

Chat emoticons/emojis will no longer be case-sensitive. May (Happy) faces abound!

Other Notable Changes

Detailed CSS updates can be found at http://report.wikia.net - the diffs show changes to .css, .scss, .tmpl.php, .html, .sass and .mustache files in Wikia's codebase.

On the Community Page admins will now be listed in a separate section above the 'top contributors' module, and they will be ordered by recent activity.

Select Known Issues

We are currently working on restoring functionality for Wikia Maps based on the real world.

We're aware that some communities have experienced an issue with custom CSS not loading today. Most cases have been fixed, and others should go back to normal as caching updates.
